That's a good question. You'll want to calculate your customer acquisition cost, which is how much you spend on marketing and sales divided by new customers. Then calculate lifetime value — that's the total profit you make from an average customer over their relationship with you. The LTV to CAC ratio tells you if you're efficient. You'd also want to look at payback period and contribution margin. If LTV is at least 3x CAC, that's usually considered healthy. Do you have your sales and marketing spend handy? What's your average customer lifetime and monthly churn? What's your average revenue per customer? Once I have those numbers, I can help you calculate these metrics.
